Dear opmi,

Over the last 1 year period, it seems like LionGlobal Japan Growth Fd SGD-Hd is the best performing Japan unit trust under CPF Inv Scheme with a return of 33.61%.

Over the last 1 year period, United Japan Small and Mid Cap SGD-H is the overall best performing Japan unit trust with a return of 54.18%. However, it is only available for subscription by cash or SRS monies only.

Thanks, weii. 

Not many Japan CPF UTs. See below. If believe in Japan comeback story, probably wont do JPY/SGD hedged.
